The side effects of prostate surgery are so bad, I'd never bother with it.  I'd as soon be dead.

My grand father and father both have had it in their 60-70's GP lived to 94 and dad is 86. Nither complained much.

Be careful for what you wish, it may come true.

It's not something I fear or dread.

All of the men on my Dad's side had prostate cancer and only one survived so I get checked every year and so far it has stayed under .1. My urologist and general practitioner has said that keeping the plumbing clean also helps, so my wife helps me with that and we are both happy. Prevention is the key.

Never had the test. No money or insurance == no test. They say I can get med help at 65, only 15 more months. POWDERMAN.  :o :o

Get the test some way. Please.

I'm trying to scare you but I had a very close friend that kept putting off the test just because he was too busy to go do it. He finally got the test and it was too late. The doctor gave him 5 years to live and was accurate. He lived five years to the day. Horrible way to die. It still chokes me up when something comes up to remind me and I think about watching him die.
No  excuses on the test. If you can buy a Handi- you can afford the test.
